Peugeot P35402 Bali FONTE Pepper Mill, cast Iron, Black, 8 cm
- Brand: Unbranded
Description
Refilling this grinder is straightforward, though you have to take some care. It’s the typical method of unscrewing the top and having to pour peppercorns into a fairly small hole. A few peppercorns across the countertop is kind of inevitable. A spoon or a funnel makes this easier - or even a piece of paper folded into a pouring chute.
All in all, If you’re a serious home cook with some stretch in your accessories budget, then the MÄNNKITCHEN Pepper Cannon will make for a very worthy addition to your kitchen setup. Skeppshult’s foundry is the last one in Scandinavia still producing cast iron cookware, and it runs on green electricity from wind and hydropower. Their products carry a 25 year guarantee on the cast iron - and this pepper mill certainly gives off an air of indestructibility. It’s our most expensive grinder, but if you use it five times a week for 20 years, its cost per use works out very similarly to a disposable grinder. If you really don’t want anything heavy, the Paris grinder by Peugeot will be your best option. It’s a classic design that looks great in any kitchen, and the hardened stainless steel mechanism works brilliantly.
The Peugeot pepper mill, the embodiment of taste
Although it’s much shorter than our other grinders, the Bali Fonte’s stout shape can still hold a good amount of pepper, and the wide opening also makes for much easier refills than the Paris. Incidentally, its shape means you can also get a good view of the crushing mechanism inside, pictured above. You can see how that neat little double helix holds peppercorns and guides them towards being crushed. The Bali Fonte carries a lifetime guarantee on the grinding mechanism, and although it’s a bit pricier than the Paris, its sturdy build does inspire confidence in its durability. If you were to use this grinder five times a week for 20 years, its would cost 1.05p per use - somewhere in between the Paris and the disposable grinder. Our fourth and final pepper mill is our model by Peugeot, who make the wooden Paris grinder - and instead, this one has a coated cast iron body. Inspired by traditional Chinese cast iron teapots, the Bali Fonte is an attractive and compact design. Weighing in at 540g, it’s our lightest iron grinder, but still offers a satisfying heft.
This is very much down to personal preference, as there are a wide variety of styles and aesthetics to choose from. However, the appearance of a mill can have a few practical pros and cons too. Design and Style: Peugeot pepper mills are not just functional kitchen tools, they are also stylish accessories that can elevate the aesthetics of any dining setting. With designs ranging from classic to contemporary, there is a pepper mill to suit every taste and décor. This pepper mill carries a lifetime guarantee on the mechanism, which is exceptional. If you were to use it five times a week for a conservative 20 years, it would cost about 0.67p per use. That’s outstanding value, and works out at half the cost of the disposable grinder.Because this grinder twists from the base, this means that there isn’t a metal shaft running through the body of the grinder from the lid. This makes refills a little easier, because that shaft isn’t in the way of your pouring. I liked the cork stopper - it was a tight fit, but much less fiddly than unscrewing parts. Okay, so hopefully you’ve guessed that this isn’t one of ours. I’m including it because I want to demonstrate the real differences between everyday throwaway products and their buy-for-life counterparts.
Grinding Mechanism: Peugeot uses a patented and exclusive grinding mechanism that sets them apart from their competitors. Their renowned grinding mechanism is made of hardened steel or ceramic, ensuring durability and optimal performance. It provides the perfect grind consistency, thereby releasing the full flavor and aroma of the pepper. The history of the pepper mill began in 1874 at the Peugeot family steel factory in Doubs, France, with the creation of the first table pepper mill, the Z model. It is still setting the standard today for its ease of use and expression of flavours and is now available in numerous exclusive collections. Whether you choose the Paris line, which has reinvented the art of grinding, or the Bistro model, a symbol of the French joie de vivre, the Madras mill with its skillfully refined lines, or the acutely modern, translucent Daman, each mill promises to stimulate all the senses through a combination of unique materials, sensual lines, galvanizing sounds, satisfying aromas and sublime flavours.The Peugeot salt mill is a superior instrument of taste and an essential tool for all food lovers who recognise that the success of a dish relies on perfect seasoning. The Skeppshult beech grinder and Peugeot Bali Fonte are lighter cast iron options, both with really attractive designs and great functionality. If you use a lot of pepper, they’re also the easiest ones to refill.
